Grade 9 student Mackenzie Cameron fi nished runner-up in the midget girls' 3,000 metres in a time of 10 minutes and 15 seconds, approximately 22 sec- onds behind the gold-medal winner Jessie Fleming of London. Cameron also placed eighth in the 1,500m in a time of 4:43 and CtK teammate Nicole Waddick was 18th in the same event. Jaguar Aleks Rapp won the OFSAA South Re- gional qualifi er for the junior boys' shot put late last month and fi nished fi fth at OFSAA with a throw measuring 15.38m. The Grade 10 student settled for fourth in the junior boys' discus after his best of six throws was 44.83m, 92 centimetres away from a po- dium fi nish. Georgetown District High School's lone OFSAA representative, Lauren Rock, placed fi fth in the prov- ince in the junior girls' triple jump with a distance of 10.62m in her third of six attempts. Although he never actually played a game of hockey in his life, few people in the area could match Ron McKnight's dedication to the sport. McKnight died suddenly Sunday evening at the age of 64 at his home in Acton. Cerebral palsy kept the local native off the ice, but never dampened his enthusiasm as both a fan and volunteer. "The Voice of Acton" was named the re- cipient of the Georgetown Hockey Heritage Award in 1998. He began scorekeeping in 1968 and his attention to detail and reliability would lead to many more op- portunities. "It's a job that got to be done and done right," he told The Independent & Free Press in 1997. "You have to make the sheet as legible as possible or the proper person doesn't get credit." McKnight served as a time- keeper for the Georgetown International Bantam Tour- nament for a dozen years as well as various hockey games and the Mann Cup and Minto Cup Canadian box lacrosse championships between 1976-78. Keenly taking up the role of public address an- nouncer at hockey and lacrosse games and many other community events, McKnight was the secre- tary of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association's Tri- County league for fi ve years and in 1977 became the secretary-treasurer of the Georgetown Referees' As- sociation and later, its president for several years. He also was presented with the OMHA's Honour Award in 1984 for outstanding voluntary contribu- tions to minor hockey. Despite his disability, the 1980 Acton Citizen of the Year lived an independent life- style and worked as a dispatcher for the Town of Hal- ton Hills's works department until retiring in 2003. The family will receive friends at the MacKinnon Family Funeral Home, 55 Mill Street East, Acton to- day (Thursday) from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. with a Legion Tribute at 6:45 p.m. The funeral service to cel- ebrate Ron's life will be conducted Friday at 2 p.m. in the Gordon McCutcheon Hall of the Acton Legion Branch 197. In lieu of fl owers, donations to the Knox Presbyterian Church Elevator Fund or the Rotary Club of Acton would be appreciated by the family. Lacrosse fans can usually rely on the Halton Hills Bulldogs and Green Gaels of Clarington to produce one of the bet- ter games of the Jr. B season and Sat- urday night's matchup in Georgetown was another thriller. The teams, who have met in the last six post-seasons, traded leads on a number of occasions and the previous- ly unbeaten Bulldogs had to rally back from an 8-3 defi cit early in the second period and needed a pair of goals in the fi nal 23 seconds of the 10-minute over- time to earn a 14-14 tie against the 12- 1-1 Gaels. Halton Hills outshot the visitors 66- 52 but had trouble containing Gaels' captain Dylan Goddard and Brandon Staal, who fi nished up with three goals and four assists apiece. Trailing 9-5 late in the second peri- od, the 'Dogs scored an incredible four goals in 45 seconds to tie the score, only to see Clarington tally twice in the fi nal 30 seconds of the stanza, including an own-goal that bounced into the Halton Hills' empty net at 19:59. Seth Laidlaw (4), Connor Brown (3), Luke Laidlaw (3), Jake Perehiniak (2), Jayson Crawford and Jamie Batten scored for the Bulldogs in front of more than 400 spectators. Halton Hills will host the 4-7 Mimico Mountaineers tonight at Alcott Arena beginning at 8 p.m. and the teams will collide again Saturday in Mimico. The 11-0-1 Bulldogs are slated to face the Gaels again on June 20 in Bow- manville. Mackenzie Cameron of Christ the King beats Collingwood Colle- giate's Heidi Ohrling to the fi nish line in a sprint for the silver medal in the midget girls' 3,000m race at last week's Ontario high school track and fi eld championships in Oshawa. Cameron and Ohrling are actually training partners during the winter months on the Highlands Nordic cross-country ski racing team based near Collingwood.
